Posted 16 Aug 2017 You need RSLogix500 for the SLC 5/03. I have never used a Panelview C600, but the Rockwell website says you need DesignStation software, version 2.0 or later: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/2711c-td001_-en-p.pdf 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Aug 2017 A SLC PLC is an early-generation controller that does not hold the PLC program rung descriptions and comments; you will need to have the most-recent program with rung descriptions and comments. The SLC-5/03 processor has a DH-485 port (similar to an RJ-45 Ethernet port, Channel 1, but is physically wider) and a DH-485/DF1/ASCII port (DB-9). To program a SLC-5/03 you will need a communication cable. A 1747-CP3 RS-232 serial cable will suffice, or a 1747-PIC box. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/1747-in518_-en-p.pdf https://www.plccable.com/allen-bradley-programming-cable-1747-pic-slc-5-00-5-03/ The last piece of the pie is communication software. Yes, RSLogix500 will give you ability to program the PLC, RSLinx is required for the communication connection. All A-B Logix PLCs require RSLinx for the communication; RSLinx is typically bundled with RSLogix500, but be forewarned you will need both installed. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Aug 2017 The PanelView C600 has a built-in web service that can be used to design your application using a PC and web browser. The DesignStation software mentioned by AndrewG is used to develop an application offline (if you don't have the terminal available). According to RA's Product Compatibility & Download Center, DesignStation is for v1.070 and older firmware. It has been superseded by Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software. Below is a link to the PanelView Component user manual. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/2711c-um001_-en-p.pdf 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
